Program Summary:
Join us for a day of invasive tree removal! This shrub tree, native to Eurasia and North Africa, was originally introduced to Colorado as a windbreak and erosion control species along riverbanks and railroads. Tamarix, otherwise known as saltcedar, spreads rapidly because it is highly adaptable to disturbed, saline, and drought-prone soils, and tolerates poor conditions.
There are two invasive tree removal events in October. Sign up for one day or join us for both!
